Newcastle United are now actively trying to get a deal done for Serhou Guirassy.
That is according to TEAMtalk, which has reported what Newcastle are doing behind the scenes for the VfB Stuttgart striker.
So, what has been reported about Newcastle United and Serhou Guirassy? Let’s take a look.
What’s the story?
Well, according to TEAMtalk, Newcastle United are interested in signing Serhou Guirassy from VfB Stuttgart in the January transfer window.
The report has claimed that Newcastle have already spoken to Guirassy’s agent and Stuttgart “about the structure of a deal”.
The striker has a release clause of £15 million in his contract, and Newcastle are ready to trigger it.
TEAMtalk has noted that Guirassy is keen on playing in the Premier League, and that Newcastle are confident of getting a deal done.

Newcastle United could be able to sign Serhou Guirassy
In my opinion, Newcastle United could be able to sign Serhou Guirassy from VfB Stuttgart in the January transfer window.
If Newcastle are ready to trigger the release clause, then there is nothing that Stuttgart will be able to do.
Now, of course, Guirassy himself will have a say on his future, but I do not think that he will turn down a move to Newcastle.
After all, the Magpies are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table for the second season in a row and could also end up in the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League.
Newcastle are one of the biggest clubs in England, and they are going places under Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Guirassy has made eight starts and two substitute appearances in the Bundesliga this season. The Guinea international striker has scored 15 goals and given one assist in those games.
